Recently I had a chance to read Ramuneikki by Sansuke Yamada. If you have read my previous posts, you would know, by now, how I love his artwork. His artwork, though seemingly raw and simple, is very lively and well-proportioned. (c) Sansuke Yamada, photo from Amazon(Japan) I almost bought this book just because he drew some figures for the book. Anyway, Ramuneikki is filled with short stories which were previously published through magazines. Each time I turned the page, I was suprised to see how freely his mind goes when he creates. I ENVY him!!

Project Woong, group of Korean gay comic writers, released their 6th compilation recently. The book is also called "Project Woong". Woong means 'bear'. This book is filled with gay bear comics and illustrations and one novel. There are many BL comics and novels. But these are usually done by woman writers and for woman readers. Realistic comics and novels are so hard to find. So it means a lot this talented group keeps on releasing its work annually.

While reading Scott McCloud's book, I came across the title of this book. And I start reading it a few mins ago. It is a book of a white gay man in the 60's and focused on racisim and homosexuality, I read from wikipedia. You cannot judge a book by its cover, but this book seems to be a serious one.
